At Kardinia Health, we offer a compassionate, inclusive approach to women’s health services. From contraception to sexual health, chronic pelvic pain, and preventive screenings, our multidisciplinary team supports women and people assigned female at birth through every stage of life.
Comprehensive contraception and pregnancy care
Our Geelong clinic offers a range of contraception options tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re considering Implanon, IUDs (both hormonal and copper), or emergency contraception, our experienced GPs provide guidance in a respectful, non-judgemental setting.
If you think you may be pregnant, we offer confidential pregnancy testing and supportive care, including discussions around all available options. For those considering a medical termination of pregnancy (MTOP), our team is here to provide care and clarity in a safe and private environment.
Expert sexual health services in partnership with Melbourne Sexual Health Centre
Sexual health is an essential part of your overall well-being. Our doctors and nurses work in partnership with Melbourne Sexual Health Centre to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care for a broad range of sexual health concerns.
We offer routine STI check-ups, treatment for conditions such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and genital warts, as well as prescriptions for PrEP and PEP for HIV prevention. Our clinic is sex-worker-friendly and welcomes individuals of all sexual preferences, gender identities, and backgrounds. Your privacy is always respected, and you’re welcome to bring a support person to your appointment.
Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis Clinic
Pelvic pain is often complex, and our Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis Clinic takes a whole-person approach to women’s health services.
We use a biopsychosocial approach, meaning we consider the physical, emotional and social aspects of pain. Whether you’re navigating endometriosis, painful periods, bladder or bowel issues, sexual pain, or unexplained pelvic discomfort, we’re here to support you.
Our team includes experienced GPs, pelvic health physiotherapists, psychologists, dietitians and pain educators. who work together to create an individualised care plan. We also offer contraceptive and IUD options that may help manage symptoms related to endometriosis or hormonal imbalance.
We understand how pelvic pain can affect all aspects of your life — from relationships and work to emotional health and everyday routines. Our goal is to help you feel heard and supported with tools and strategies to move forward.
Cervical screening and vaccination advice
We provide cervical cancer screening (formerly known as Pap smears) in a calm, supportive setting. You can choose between clinician-collected tests or self-collection using a swab. Both options are equally effective.
Our GPs and nurses are also available to offer vaccine guidance, including HPV and hepatitis A and B, and provide personalised care based on your age and risk factors.
Inclusive, respectful care at every stage
Our commitment to women’s health services goes beyond the clinical. We’re proud to offer a safe and inclusive space where every person feels respected and heard. Whether you’re visiting for a routine check, seeking support for chronic conditions, or looking for information about your reproductive health, our team is here to support you with care that’s grounded in respect and compassion.
